White House press secretary Sarah Sanders asked reporters on Monday to list what they are thankful for before asking her questions, a request that was met by every reporter.
Sanders shared that she was thankful for her family and job as White House press secretary before opening the floor for questions.
“And I’m certainly thankful for the incredible privilege of serving this president and the American people,” Sanders added.
“This is how it’s going to work today,” she told reporters. “Since I’m here and I call on you, if you want to ask a question, I think it’s only fair since I shared what I’m thankful for that you start off with what you’re thankful for.”

The White House correspondents expressed gratitude to everything from the First Amendment to their unborn children.
John Gizzi of Newsmax brought laughter to the room after he acknowledged his wife as his heroine who finally agreed to marry him upon “the fourth request.” He then asked a question about Zimbabwe.
